Does the type of carbon paper change with make price? Just curious as the last tattoo I did the stencil came off pretty easy luckily it was only a small design. It could of been my fault but just wondering in general is there better makes or is is generally the same
I have 3 different types of paper all of which are getting on a bit now, I intend to buy my next lot from Barber DTS as Russ says, if you are losing your stencil it could be the stencil solution as much as the paper.

Yeah I think I might just cover myself and try different things see how to make it stay on better. I'm sure I only paid like £5 for 20 sheets.

Haha that's what I was wondering if it makes any difference.
A slight change of subject. Has any one used straight hectograph ink with a pen. I used it a while back and preferred it to the carbon paper method. Can you still buy the straight ink anywhere?
